“For 10 days. which began yes‘
tsrday, we are going out to the peo-
pl. of Norwalk. Westport. Barton
and Wilton to raise the $80,000 or
better needed to pay in full for the.
cost of the Home. Mr. Jakob has
said that men have actually given up
all their tlmc‘fcr the cause. These
men are in most cases the busiest
men in Norwalk. They have been
called upon because they are effi-
cient in business. They are what
we call ‘livo wires’. That‘s all we
want in these public works. The
men who are the buszest are the
ones who are called upon in such
timesvThey know hbw to do things
and to make the best use of their
time.
“You can do excellent work your-
self by breaking down prejudices
and misunderstandings about the
hospital. I don't say‘wc want you
to go into your home and attempt
to tell your parents how much they
should give. We don’t even expect
you to tell-them that they should
give. Possibly your parents are bet-
ter judges of their financial ability
to do certain things than you are.
"And‘we don’t want. people to
give who really can't afford to con-
tribute to this hospital. There are
some cases where the money is
more needed by the home than by
the hospital. It is in such instances
that we would prefer no donation
were made.
Prejudice.
"There are. perhaps. some few
who have some individual
persons
prejudice against the hospital or
against a. certain doctor. If you
have had cause to complain about
the service at the hospital. please
realize that it takes time and money
to complete such a large organiza-
tion. and it is your money that will
hasten this completion and perfec-
tion. If it is some doctor against
whom you are prejudiced. remcm.
f ber that. he is not the whole hospi-
‘ tsl. he doesn’t own it. You do,
though. If your parents have such
prejudices. just say to them. ‘Father
or Mother. be bigger than that'. for
that is really what is wrong with
people who allow petty prejudices
and petty anger to exist. and stand
in the way of the development of
this fine cause.
“You should also hear in mind
that the. Hospital makes no excep-
tion of creed. color. race. political
parties; in fact. there are no ex-
ceptions. It is an institution run by
many people for all people.
"Just because you have no per-
sonal need of the Hospital at the
present time should not influence
‘you in any way. either. To show
you what a. direct lwaringcthe Hos-
pital has upon you. individually. isn't
that where you will rush the man
who may sustain a, broken collar
bone or arm when playing football
this fall? Everything is within the
round of possibility and. when it
happens. your first thought will be
of a competent doctor. a thoroughly
trained nurse and a modernly equip-
ped Hospital. Where would we be
today if we still had to get along
with the wooden building on the
turnpike. in these days of numerous
automobile accidents? Those are the
things you should think of and give
or influence others to give. We don't
expect you personally to glve,,but
we do expect you to be apostles and
missionaries in this cause, that is to
aid the sick and suffering."
Loudly Applauded.
That Mr. Quinlan’s appeal reached
horns was shown by the enthusiastic
applause he received. Everyone
seemed filled with the desire to do his
share-‘the proper Byll‘lt—and the
spirit that is being shown by every-
one approached.

mhittee is not because of any sudden
break. according to the Wilton regu-
lore.
It extends back over a number
of years. beginning with the split
into Roliraback and antl-Rohraback
factions.
"it means nothing." one said.
“They have no prcsrsgs reft in the
party. and their resignations Won't
affect the coming elections."
Regular Republicans
John Knapp said: "The resigna-
tions will help rather than hinder
the party. It will mean that a larger
vote will come out for the Republl.
cans. People who would have stayed
at homa‘ will vote to make sure that
the Schenck faction is given a. mark
of disapproval.
"They have outlived their favor
in Wilton. and they told the absolute
truth when they stated that'they
were resigning for the good of the
party. It was for the good of the
party. '
“Don't misunderstand—there is no
'Knapp faction’ in Wilton. There is
Just the regular body of Republicans
who want to nominate their own
candidate and who are tired of be.
ing dictated to." . -
The split between Mrs. Schenck
and the "regulars" showed first four
years egowhen Mrs.-sehenck. it is
said. joined the anti-Rohrback forces
John Knapp. now nominee for First
Selectman. was the leader of the
Bareback faction, and he aud‘Mrs.
Schenck clashed.
' "War to the Knife."
Knapp supporters claim that since
that time. Mrs. Schenck worked only
for the defeat of Knapp, and two
years ago openly worked for the
Democratic nominee.. That Mrs.
Schenck was not without power was
shown two years ago when she was
influential in beating-Knapp by‘ 11‘
votes. .. ' . ,
"And the count wasn't any
good." charges one . Republican.
After that it war "war to the
knife." which culminated in the den
feat 'of the Schenck faction at the.
Republican caucus {when-many of
Sher supporters followed Mrs.
Schenck from the hall.
The Republicans who have resign-
ed from the Town Committee will
not start any third partyiwork. it
is stated. Mrs. Schenck. some say. is
still a power among the women of
the state. and in these circles has
much prestige.

lioltc-lding it we have exclaimed:
‘Tliore is nothing more beautiful
than the sunrise.’
“Then we have stood in the open
fields at nocndar. when the king
had taken his throne upon the zen-
ith and all the heavens were filld
with the splendor of his golden
robes. 'l‘liu heaven and earth were
filled with activity. The clouds be-
came sllvcr chariots carrying rain
to scorched fields and barren lands
while evry wind was busy carrying
polln with which to fertilize the
fields and groin. Never were the
whirling wheels and singing spindles
of a mighty‘ factory half so busy as
were the leaves and roots and root-
lots of every plant and shrub. All
nature was ~at~ work. Trees bunt
under a wealth of ripened fruit. the
fields were waving with ripening
harvests and the vineyards were pur-
ple with ripened harvests. Every
blossom was busy as n. laboratory
preparing pefumcs with which to
enrich the. breezes. Beholding the
noontitle of a summer's day we have
said: ‘lieuutiful is “the sunrise. but
more wonderful is the noontime.‘
"Then again We have watched the
sun set; more oitcn likely titan we
have seen Tl rise. We have seen an
army of tireless workers transform
the western clouds into great man'-
sions through whose myriad win-
dows the. light, shone out upon
streets that were paved with, Jewels.
We have seen invisible”handa lift
pillars of jasper and rounded arches
of. fire that the living may have a
royal over which to journey. Then
as the king was about to pass
through the'archcs to triumph to
begin his copouests of another hcmt
isphere. thousands of unseen hands
have waved banners of pearl. and
opal and silver and: gold-and orange
and scarlet andypurle. Beholdlng it.

"l have painted for‘you the life
of John the Baptist for his was the
life of the growing splendor. From‘
out the dark night he rose before
the vision of the people with the
splendor of the rising sun. in the
midst of his activities the whole
~world was set busy in a new and
constructive work. while at the close
of his public ministry he revealed a
divinely illuminated. spirit when
makes him tfanspendently greater
than at the beginning or height of
his marvelous ministry. His was a
growing splendor because he was
animated by an alleconsuming pur-
pose which purifies life and en-
nobles character the more one yields
himself to it.‘ Y
"Back of your life there is n pur-
pose. and that purpose moulds your

You cannot rise above your “domin-
ating purpose. The longer one lives
the more pronounced are the results
either for; 590d or evil.
"I am not a. prophet. nor the son
of a prophet. but I can accurately
foretell your future. One of the
things that I can remember having
learned at school was a. truth of
mathematics. that two points deter-
mine a straight line. All I ask of
you in aiding me ‘to forecast your
future are to honestly give me but
two points of your individual experi-
ence. First tell me what were your
hopes. your faith. your vision or‘ life
and your plans the hour that you
first gave your heart to Christ. What
I. wonderful hour that was and how
your heart burns and your eyes
blind with tears when you recall it.
That is the first point and we shall
represent it by this point of. the
pulpit here. The second point that
I ask you to give me is your
Christian experience tonight. Is
your hope as bright. your faith as
strong and your future as illumin-
ated today as then?
“Some one answers. 'Mr. Ander-
son. my experience. is not as bright
as it once was. I have lost faith in
man and God.’ Very well. Then
whsrc shall I designate the second
point? -It cannot be as high as the
first so I will place it here. Now let
these two points determine the
straight line. Here is where you
were yesterday. here where you are
today. tomorrow there; and so on
through the years—yours is the life
of the fading splendor.
“But another says. ‘My faith'and
hope and love for God are brighter
than they have ever-been! Good.
Here is where you began. Today
you are here. Tomorrow will be
better than today. Ten years from
today better than this year. Yours
is the life of growing splendor. If
your purpose is good. the longer
you live the better you will be. If
you yield to a. bad purpose you will
become weaker until at_ the final
you are now.
“The strength.“ John the Bap-
tist lay {in the fact that he was mas-
tered by. an all-consuming purpose
-—that purpose was to make straight
and smooth a pathway for the com-
ing king. He was God's road-build-
er that the coming .Chrlst might
walk easily and successfully into the
hearts of alluthose to whom he min-
iatered. ‘ ’ ‘ ‘ ;
“That is the motive that ought to
dominate ovary heart—all of us
should be road-makers for God.
"There is an expression often
used in religious work that is sub-
Ject to a. wrong interpretation: that
expression is. 'I must bring my
friends to Christ? There is a sense
in which that act can be performed.
but there is another sense in which
it cannot be done. ‘ ..
“The-commonly accepted notion of
a. revival aids tin" this conception.

announced and the church sits still

"After a few weeks of ‘revlvnl ef-
forl' the. church begins to show some
faint suggestion of life: it is like a
deep breath one given when he turns
over in” his sleep. After a few more
weeks the church comes to ,conseiou...

things of God. and then by'tli'e time

become desperately in earnest- for
the salvation of certain friends

the work of each Christian .is that
of a i'ondJiuilder. which lasts 365
days of every year. Our task is
not so much to bring men to
Christ as it ,ls to build a road for
Christ that is so smooth , and
straight that Jesus can walk over
it. directly into the hearts of all
of our friends and associates. That
was the ell-consuming .llesire of
John the, Baptist as he came from
tho desclt solitude to break upon

dor of a sunrise.

come patronizing the rich. saying
that financial and social ' prestige

He exact property. He came to pro-
pare the way by the foolishness of
preaching. not by preaching fool-

that and failed. The only Way the
world can be saved is by the foolish-
ness of preaching. llut~whst shall
his message be. What class of so~
ciety had be best appeal to‘.’. lie
appealed to no class- There is not
one message fOr one man and an-
other message for another. [or all
the same truth, and so John came
preaching in with all the passion of
his burning soul: Repeat! Repentl!
liepentll! .
"This is the message that will fit
into every life. Thai. is the only
gospel that will meet the needs of
this age. All men. rich or poor,
high or low. trained or unskilled
must repent of their sins. Think not
because you are a member in the
most influential family in‘ the.
church ; think not that because you
have wealth and niany of the social
immunities which wealth procures;
think not that because you are an
older. or deacon. or member of the
official board that you have an in-
side track to the Lord. There is but
one message to all men for all men
have. sinned and come short of the
glory of God. That message is a
message of love to save us from de-
struction: ‘Repent of your sins and
escape the damnation of hell.‘
“Don't be deceived by the mushy
doctrines of the. day that would
teach you that.therc is no hell._ It
may be quite .oaensive to a. flabby
sentimentallsm. but every one who
thinks clearly knows that hell is a
moral necessity. and there is only
one way to escape it and that is by
way of repentance.
"And repentance is something
more than being sorry. It being
sorry were all that were necessary
the penitentiary would be an abode
of saints for every man there is
sorry—sorry that he got. caught. To
repent is to be sorry. to stop. turn
around and facing God walk straight
away from every sin and every evil
cempanion of your sinful days.
, “That sort of preaching is the
daydawn to the soul. No -wonder
that we liken the coming cf Jonn
to the rising of thezmorning suit.
But to John was given a. growing
splendor. No sooner did he begin.
his message appealing to the hearts
and conscience of all men than he
began to make practical application
of his teachings to his own and the
lives of others. The people then. like
the pe‘ople now. were trying to save
their souls by their own good work.
John reversed the whole method.
First. get right with God through
ill in the Lord Jesus Christ and
then do works that are ebnsistent
with one ‘ho is sorry for his sins.
We cannot make it easy for Christ
to find‘hls way into our neighbor's
heart unless we are consistent and
doing 'works meet for‘ repentance.

religion. He taught that religion is

those who serve Christ could be
greater-than John the Baptist until
l.vvltne.ssed an incident that occ‘ur-
red in one of my first tabernacle
meetings. I had spoken to the boys
and girls. telling them that each one
of tlicm lllld a. right to a Christian
home; and that if their parents
were. not followers of Christ to pray
for them, and God would answer
their, aycrs. On Sunday evening I
saw a little girl of about nine years,
a beautiful child. come with her mo-
ther to the front of the tabernacle.
and after tho~mothcr had expressed
her desire to become a Christian
they took their places in the seats
set aside for penitents. After a
while the little girl disappeared only
to c/no back. bringing her father.
The tears were rolling down his
checks as he grasped my hand say-
ing: 'Mr. Anderson. I should have
been the oneto lead my child to
Christ, and to think that I have
waited for her to bring me.‘ I shall
never forget the happiness of the
little girl as she sat between her
parenlg that night. happy in the
knowledge of answered prayer. Be-
holdlng her I knew what Jesus
meant when He said that he what is
‘rlenst’ln the kingdom otheaven is
greater than John the Baptist.
